********************

The elaborate majestic event was almost the same one his grandfather, Almarhum Sultan Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim had city fives years ago. His late father, Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Ibni Sultan Ismail chose not to have a coronation when he ascended the Johor throne thirty four years ago.

The full event which was covered by most TV stations, has been made available online by Jabatan Penerangan.

The most interesting bit about this coronation is that Sultan Johor is the only Ruler out of the nine Malay Rulers who is crowned with a crown, instead of a tanjak. The State Crown was actually designed in 1886 by jeweller J.W.Benson in London and was enhanced with more diamonds and rare gems by Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim in 1925.
